We saw what you did with my own eyes!! I do not recommend any parent to bring their children here Now we have to worry about potential serious Infections! Awful!

I dont think that I have every met a better dentist than Dr. Saini. He is the best dentist I've…read morehad the pleasure of dealing with. During the era of Covid we were referred to Dr. Saini by our regular dental office because they stopped doing pediatrics. I'm so thankful they did because we have never looked back. The care is exceptional. The work is the best. There is no other way to describe it. My kids are easy to deal with but I've been there when they had some "other" kinds of kids in there and they have their ways of dealing with them on point. Our last dentist did a really bad job on some of my daughters dental and I paid out of pocket to have Dr. Saini fix it rather than going back to the other dentist. I will not take my kids anywhere else. The office staff is exceptional. I have to deal with a difficult co parent situation and its so easy for me to just call up and explain what's going on and they accommodate me every time with out any hassle. Any billing questions, they are right there with the answer. They are just so helpful. Actually, I wish I could be a patient too. You will not find a better dentist for your kids.

We went in for my 5 year old daughter who had a bad experience with another dentist, this place was…read moreamazing, and the dentist was so patient and made my 5 year old feel so comfortable and relaxed! The office lobby was great filled with things for kids to play with, the environment/office was fun, the dentist went over the treatment plan with me and then also took time to explain to my 5 year old what he was going to do step by step which I think really helped her feel at ease. I highly recommend this dentist and office! Love the reward at the end! My daughter received a token to use in this machine and got a cute ring, she also got to pick out a reward from their treasure chest! Appreciate the time and effort you put into our experience!

I had Zometa infusions after having breast cancer in 2011. Apparently there is a half life of that…read moremedication for decades. I went to another oral surgeon, Dr. Karas, who said he "...wouldn't touch me with a 10 ft pole" and told me to leave my 6 year old infection in my right lower back molar alone because if I try to pull the tooth, I will create a permanent hole in my gums leading into my sinus. Leave it until it starts hurting he said. I did for 2 years. I went back to my Oncologist and told him what Dr. Karas said. My Oncologist said his patients who are still on Zometa have their teeth pulled all the time without incident. He referred me to Dr. Gronbach. I cannot say enough about Dr. Gronbach. Not only did he pull the tooth (it's now been 4 months and is healing beautifully), but he listened to my whole ordeal, scheduled surgery and offered to give me general anesthesia since I was so scared, took 3d xrays and explained the entire process. It was the easiest surgery I have ever had and I did not have any pain. If I would not have found Dr. Gronbach, I will still have an active infection in my mouth. Dr. Gronbach is kind, intelligent, patient, sympathetic, thorough. Great bedside manner! He spent two visits going over what he was going to do and why. He even let me take pictures of the xrays and explained everything in such detail for my husband and I. Great oral surgeon - he will be doing all of my dental work from here on out.

The front desk staff were kind and helpful as well. My girls especially loved picking out toothbrushes and receiving a special token for a gift! The only thing I found a bit amusing was the seating--picnic-style chairs when you first walk in, rather than a couch for waiting. Overall, we're very happy we found this office and will be back soon with my son. Thanks!

There's a parking garage and it's on the first floor, so it's easy to get to even if you have a stroller. There are toys in the waiting room and they play movies on a screen above to distract them while they clean and they get a prize at the end. It's a great setup. Next year when my daughter is old enough, I'll be bringing both of my kids in for cleanings together.

Dr Christina and her team of incredible hygienists and staff have given our family literally life…read morechanging dental care! My daughter had serious oral trauma from being intubated as a toddler, and with years of loving, patient, compassionate care they have turned that trauma around and we now have a girl who will literally trust them to do ANYTHING dental that she needs done! The most epic example is on Mother's Day this year, she knocked out a permanent tooth while playing. Dr Christina left her own children for hours on a Sunday/Mother's Day to come in and replant the tooth, with skill and respect for my daughter throughout the procedure. The tooth is now thriving again thanks to multiple check ups and little interventions she has done along the way! That experience could have scarred us all for life but instead my daughter happily skips into the office. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!

Wow. As someone who has had negative dental experiences as a child, it has been important to me to…read morefind a very welcoming and gentle, yet knowledgeable pediatric dentist. And now I've found it! Insurance: They pre-authorized the visit with my insurance so I could know what would be covered. This gave me comfort knowing what to expect! (For reference, I have MetLife) Front desk staff: Very helpful when emailing or calling regarding making an appt, insurance, etc as mentioned above. Dental Hygenist: Lori is an angel. My daughter was shy/nervous but Lori continued to talk to her and make conversation to make my daughter more comfortable. Lori is patient, caring, and we are so thankful for her gentle demeanor! Dentist: Dr. Helen was incredibly kind, calm and patient the moment she walked in. She mentioned things my daughter likes in order to make conversation with her (which was information asked in the forms we filled out prior to our appointment. I love that!). I was able to ask Dr. Helen questions and really appreciated her taking the time to answer. Just a fantastic experience all-around! The waiting room: Has a lot of toys for the kids to play with. We arrived early so my daughter could warm up and see how "fun" the dentist could be. I highly recommend reading the Lovevery dentist book they have in the waiting room, "Olivia Goes to the Dentist". It's actually a book with Dr. Helen in it! It explains how the dental visit will go, and explains "sugar bugs" which was a really helpful way of explaining teeth cleaning to my 3 year old. The extras: Oh my goodness! They have stickers, sunglasses, bubbles, toothbrushes, balloons, and other little toys! My daughter absolutely had a great time and is excited for her next visit, which makes my heart so happy! If Dr. Helen starts seeing adults, I'll be first in line! :)

Each time we've been here, staff has been so friendly and receptive to my talkative daughter. They're very accommodating for the little ones - for example my daughter chose a toothpaste flavor but hated it and they kindly let her choose another. They've also let her get another token before when she hated the toy she got from the machines. Perhaps they might be too nice since she should be learning the consequences of her choices, haha. But I definitely recommend this practice to any moms I meet!

My daughter came to Lamorinda Toothbuds fearful of dentists (due to a bad experience), and overall has a sensitive temperament with sensory issues. Dr. Roy and her staff completely changed her sense of safety and trust with dentists, because they know how to be caring, engaging, and bring the patient into the process step by step. Buddy (the therapy dog) added extra comfort and hilarity, and was a big draw for my daughter coming to appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Roy and her office - they bring a lightness and joy to dentistry! We will miss them all dearly!

Such a Great Experience!…read more We took both of our boys to Little Cloud for their dental visit, and they had such a great experience! The office is absolutely adorable--the decorations are so cute and really make the whole place feel fun and welcoming for kids. The staff and doctor were wonderful with the boys and so gentle and patient. My younger son is only 3, so I wasn't sure how he would do at the dentist, but he actually had a great time! He was completely comfortable and left happy, which says a lot. It's so nice to find a pediatric dentist where the kids actually enjoy going. We'll definitely be coming back!

We were looking for a pediatric dentist for our children as we had been taking them to our dentist,…read morewho we love. However, we figured a pediatric dentist would be better equipped and outfitted for wiggly kiddos. I asked in a local Facebook Mom group for pediatric dentist office recommendations based on the needs of our children, and I saw overwhelmingly positive reviews for a few. From there, I took to Yelp and I saw the 5-star reviews for Little Cloud. I called them up, and the receptionist was so delightful and happy to answer any questions. They take our insurance and had openings, so we made our appointments. Now that we've had two cleanings there, it was time to write another all star review for them! I can't praise Dr. Rachel and her office enough! First off, they are easy to make appointments with and have their own private parking lot right in front. This makes everything so easy. Her staff are sweet and sincere, and joyful! When you're greeted, the energy is positive like not only are they happy to be there, but they're happy you're there too! That type of energy and atmosphere is exactly what you want at a pediatric dentist's office! The office is SO cute and well thought out! There's a fun light-up wall with knobs for the kiddos to play with, plus some more toys and books. The furniture is adorable with little cloud stools and a very cool light up cloud ceiling! I mean, this office feels straight out of Instagram/Pinterest! It's way too cute! However, the praise doesn't just stop at the office decor. Looks aren't everything, so more importantly, Dr. Rachel is such a pleasure! She's fantastic with children. She has great techniques to work on babies and nervous children. Fidgety kids? She has TVs mounted on the ceiling as well to hold their interest while she works. She has a fun bar where kids can pick their flavor for their cleaning. Every detail here has been thought out. Plus, she is so kind and informative! She tells you what she's doing and gives helpful intel and advice. Her office is very modern, and bright, with the latest gadgets to help her do her work smoothly and quickly. She also offers appointments where her specially trained therapy dogs can be present! The dogs are in the office twice a week. Our next appointment is when they're there and we're excited! Plus, after the appointment, kiddos can head to the prize wall and get a gapcha! So fun! Plus, on our first visit, they took a cute Polaroid of us to commemorate our visit, and the kids got some cute little items! I love the cloud toothbrush cover! Plus, my baby loved her cloud squishy toy! The entire practice goes out of their way to not only make you feel welcome, but to make the visit fun and enjoyable! This second visit, any nervousness was gone! It was the best dental visit my 6-year-old has ever had, and our 1.5's visit was also a breeze! I couldn't believe how well it went, and its a testament to Dr. Rachel and her team! This is the type of vibe I want when I take them to the dentist. I mean, this is the type of vibes I want when I go too. Does she take adults? hahah :) We're so happy there and highly recommend Dr. Rachel!
